Instead of One Stink X Dutty Guyana..
Dreams..
Last night I dreamed that there was a spring tide and some river flooded my yard and area with clear clean water. This morning of the 52nd Republic Anniversary of Guyana, part of the yard is flooded as the rain pours. The pumps might be working.
At some point last night I remember thinking that maybe the clear clean water meant to wash away things and that no stink x dutty water remains. I can put the meaning to the dreams as I want.
And so as the rain falls , and the water is there waiting to move away..
'Haul dey stink and dutty"
The PPP Government is pushing its One Guyana agenda. You either One with them, or not. And then we hear that the PPP Government is having as one of its Unifying One Guyana events for Mashramani, an event Stink X Dutty.
I am neither PPP nor PNC, but I am one with the PPP and PNC and whatever else is left for Guyana.
I check the origins of stink x dutty and see that Machel Montanan and Bunji Garlin have a song.. and referring I think to Stink x Dutty to people who want to buss them head and who oppressing them.
Or maybe I dreaming because the PPP has embraced Stink x Dutty as Republican Values.. the values of the people who want to be in their one Guyana who will beat in Machel and Bunji head, the descendants of Joe Taimana who had taken his stick to one of the oppressors, the Stink X Dutty Captain Baker..
and all of that is meaningless because apparently is just lyrics and beats and so on to get on bad to in the name of One Guyana..
Hauling my stink x dutty..
And the water flows, I dream though that as I can't go haul my stink x dutty away from the One Guyana and that I have to haul my stink x dutty away from Guyana in my dreams to survive.... that instead of the One Stink X Dutty Guyana ..
I dream that we know there are different Guyanas and that is okay to have different Guyanas and that the different Guyana's don't have to go to war..
I dream that people would make the stink x dutty politicians they put in to work for them and to work for those who did not put them in..
I dream that people would organise and so and plan their own events and celebrations of what the Republic mean to them instead of allowing the Government to tell them they have to be stink x dutty..
I dream that the people who want to stand up and speak truth and call out madness could do so and would do so as it is a scary time as ordinary citizens getting cuss up instead of the politicians
I dream that the people who call on others to do stuff would start doing stuff themselves and not cuss up why other people not doing stuff.. like trying to fix the place in different ways
I dream that no more oil is found, and that once people know that no more oil is there and that the oil money will done, that they recognise that we don't own the land, that if anything the land owns us and that we can work with the land in ways to get livelihoods..
I dream that successful oil companies will open a centre for the bandits and so on to drop in and collect money so that ordinary folks don't have to be robbed and brutalised,. I dream that when Babba Prezzy and Pappa Prezzy cleaning up next time, that they will have a nice conference with all the bandits and thieves and so on so that ordinary citizens don't have to suffer...
I learn from Breadfruit Collective that culture and being is not about roots only, but about Routes to futures and that people reject the Government's stink x dutty desire to route people to stink x dutty futures and to route to a future which is clean and in which all thrive
I dream that the water don't remain on the land to become stink x dutty....
